EDINBURG, Texas — A 64-year-old South Texas cemetery worker is dead after a five-foot, one-ton tombstone toppled and crushed him to death.
Edinburg police say the man died about 9 a.m. Wednesday morning at the Hillcrest Cemetery in Edinburg, which is 50 miles northwest of Brownsville. Cemetery manager Sandy Prost says the tombstone was listing and Mendoza was trying to straighten it when it fell on him.
Edinburg police Lt. Oscar Trevino says an autopsy has been ordered and the death has been reported to the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration.

Thieves steal 160 sheep near UK town of Wool

LONDON — Wool's wool is missing.
Police in southwest England appealed for help Tuesday in tracking down thieves who made off with 160 sheep from a field near the village of Wool.
Police say the sheep were stolen between Saturday and Monday, and that the thieves would have needed a large vehicle to move the woolly haul.
Constable Adam Taylor says all of the sheep were electronically tagged.
He is urging anyone who has witnessed suspicious activity — or been offered sheep "in unusual circumstances or for very low prices" — to come forward.

So do they string them up for sheep rustling like they used to do here in Texas for cattle rustling?

This is a student's work for English

I find this amusing and innovative of the teacher. Needless to say you might recognize Poe's work behind this.


Body Parts Found In Floor Boards

Police men were told of yells in the night and an old man had gone missing. At this time names are unknown but the murderer was visited by policemen and according to the police they had no suspicion until the killer leapt out of his seat and confessed yelling where he had hidden the body.

The motivation was supposedly the victim’s strange transplanted eye.

The strange killer was sent to an asylum and from what doctors and orderlies claim, he is in the highest security cell, and has been moaning and saying things like: “I am not crazy!” and “Too Late!” Court is deciding whether or not they want to give him capital punishment by guillotine.

More information will be given later.

Router did not need a new power adapter. *sighs*

After much pain on my part as a Luddite, and careful, considerate, walked me through the steps, told me where to find things, waited patiently for me to find them and, didn't snicker, assistance from my provider... I have a new router connected.
*HUGS my internet again*

I find it interesting that if they also provided service to my cell phone or if I had an IPAD or other internet device that is their's I could have done this without talking to a human. I needed a human. Telling me that I could get assistance while I waited by going to their website is absolutely no help if the reason I am calling is that I don't have internet.

And it seems that sometime in the future they will not offer simple internet service. It will have to be with their package that includes TV service.
Diversity works well in nature. It's a failsafe mode in case one system fails. If the internet crashed, I'd still have cable. *sighs*

They have watches now that have internet. Walking into the store to check the old and then buy the new router... technology culture shock. Am surprised that they didn't install ports in people's skulls in the backroom like a dental visit. Then again I didn't ask about that service and stood well away from all the shiny things.

They did have some very nice leather gloves that are touch screen usable.. 1/2 price.
Which made them $44.00! *whimpers*

I am not ready for the 21st century.
